A 1.362 g sample of an iron ore that contained Fe3O4 was dissolved in acid with all of the iron being reduced to iron (II). The solution was acidified with sulfuric acid and titrated with 39.42 mL of 0.0281 M KMnO4, which oxidized the iron (II) to iron (III) while reducing the permanganate to manganese (II). Generate the balanced net ionic equation for the reaction. What is the mass percent of iron in this iron ore sample?

a. MnO₄⁻ + 8H⁺ + 5Fe²⁺ → 5Fe³⁺ + Mn²⁺ + 4H₂O

b. 18.17% of Fe in the sample

Explanation:

a. In the reaction, Fe²⁺ is oxidized to Fe³⁺ and permanganate, MnO₄⁺ reduced to Mn²⁺, thus:

Fe²⁺ → Fe³⁺ + 1e⁻

MnO₄⁻ + 5e⁻ + 8H⁺ → Mn²⁺ + 4H₂O

5 times the iron and suming the manganese reaction:

MnO₄⁻ + 5e⁻ + 8H⁺ + 5Fe²⁺ → 5Fe³⁺ + 5e⁻ + Mn²⁺ + 4H₂O

MnO₄⁻ + 8H⁺ + 5Fe²⁺ → 5Fe³⁺ + Mn²⁺ + 4H₂O

b. Moles of permanganate in the titration are:

0.03942L × (0.0281 moles / L) = 1.108x10⁻³ moles of MnO₄⁻

Based on the reaction, 1 mole of permanganate reacts with 5 moles of iron, if 1.108x10⁻³ moles of MnO₄⁻ reacts, moles of iron are:

1.108x10⁻³ moles of MnO₄⁻ × (5 moles Fe²⁺ / 1 mole MnO₄⁻) =

4.431x10⁻³ moles of Fe²⁺. Molar mass of Fe is 55.845g/mol. 4.431x10⁻³ moles of Fe²⁺ are:

4.431x10⁻³ moles of Fe²⁺ ₓ (55.845g / mol) =

0.2474g of Fe you have in your sample.

Percent mass is:

0.2474g Fe / 1.362g sample ₓ 100 =

18.17% of Fe in the sample

The answer to your question really depends on three things: how much water you have, how cold it is to start out, and how cold the things around it are. water actually freezes when it gets to 32 degrees fahrenheit (0 degrees celsius), but the time it takes to get there may be different.  let's start with the first. if you take two glasses, and fill one with a tiny bit of water, and the other about halfway, then put them both in the freezer, the one with less water will freeze first (you can try this at home, but i recommend using plastic cups and not glass ones).  now let's move on to the second part. let's say you have two glasses, and you fill one with really cold water that has been in the refrigerator, and the other with really hot water from the sink. if you put both of them in the freezer, the one that started out colder will freeze first.  for the third part, let's imagine that you have two glasses with the same amount of water in them, and the water is at the same temperature. imagine putting one outside on a really really cold day in georgia, and having a friend in alaska put one outside on the same day. since it would be so much colder in alaska, the glass of water there would freeze before yours.  so, if you took a tiny bit of really cold water in a glass, and put it outside on a cold day in alaska, it would freeze a lot faster than a big glass of hot water outside on a cold day in georgia. 

Idon’t know what the answer is i wish i could
